There's a belief in Hollywood that being a Bond Girl is not a good thing, that you're forever typecast as eye candy and will have trouble finding decent parts for the rest of your career. The evidence backing up this so-called curse is pretty strong, too: when was the last time you heard from Izabella Scorupco or Carole Bouquet? We hope for the best for Naomie Harris, who will play Eve in the upcoming Skyfall, but you never know. Below, we've put together a list of the most embarrassing post-James Bond film roles for 15 "main" Bond girls (by main, we mean that they're not just in a single scene, then die, but rather, they're Bond's main companion in their respective film).

I like the fact that there's a film called Island of the Fishmen. Why the fuck do they need an island? Surely that'd be one of the few advantages of being a fishman? Not needing an island; having the majority of the world to fuck about in? Plus I can't imagine that a fishman out of water would be that much of a threat. 'Oh, no! Here come the fishmen! Don't get in the water!''I'm not... Actually I was just hanging out on this island...on the...dry land bit... With you.''Oh yeah... Well, what if they get out?''They have gills - so I'm pretty sure as long as we stay at least 3 metres away from the water's edge we'll be safe as they'll probably sooner suffocate than...whatever the fuck it is they would do if they got a hold of us. Eat? Rape? That weird fish mouth thing fish do when they're out of water and they're trying to breathe? That shit's disgusting. But guess what, bitch - it's all air up here!'Was this film made as a part of a series of neutered horror creatures? Was there a sequel? 'World of Zombies', maybe? Literally everyone in the world's a zombie. So, ... yeah...not much happens. Oh well.'Jason in Solitary Confinement', perhaps? Jason Voorhees is in a maximum security prison, in solitary confinement, with no teenagers about. 'The Pond of the Common House Cat!' The fish citizens of the pond are terrified, as a vicious predator stalks the water's edge, patiently waiting for one of them to accidentally fall up, and out of the pond, except that literally never happens so, yeah, fuck it, let's just watch the Island of the Fishmen....Jesus I need a drink.

I'm amused that you didn't even put up a still of Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation. Why spare us?

Is it weird that I think it's not actually Halle Berry in that catwoman costume? Either that, or she was photoshopped to hell...

Wait, I know nothing about King Kong escapes other hten the picture you posted has King Kong punching out Godzilla while Mecha King Kong watches in the background, and that looks like the greatest thing ever made.

blacksred

i can't possibly be the only person who now wants to see Satan's Mistress and The Beach at the Threshold of Hell based on the posters. They look like awesome movies.

Radu Serbanescu

reign of fire rulz.

Mitchell Hundred

So for the King Kong movie, is that Mie Hama in the apebot suit, or is King Kong reaching down Godzilla's throat to get her out? You need to be clearer about this.

Has Eva Green established a new model for how to go forward? Look at Olga, getting all Malick-ed. Maybe a list of the best?

Frank247

"Shootfighter: Fight to the Death"

That's an actual film title?

Why didn't they go with their original one, "The Killer Killer"?

Or, the number 2 choice, "Film"?

This list is infinitely helpful in insuring that any future daughters of mine might not be unfortunately monikered with something that might nudge them toward a career involving stripping, street-walking, Clooney-dating, or TLC-starring. Steer clear of Christmas, Kissy, Jinx, and Goodhead - got it.

Aww, c'mon. The world is crying out for more cute little Kissy Goodheads running around.

BWeaves

You forgot "Pussy."

John W

All I know is now I gotta see "Satan's Mistress".

And then there was Eva Green, who warps this pattern hard.

littlelion

I'd let Eva Green warp my pattern... HARD.

Joan Severance, Jeff Conaway and Tanya Roberts? I don't care how beautiful Joan Severance is (really, really) that movie must have skipped video and gone straight to 8 track.

Bond actresses? If you're cherry-picking only oneworst role for each of the Bond girls, have you looked through the most embarrassing post-Bond roles for the actual Bonds? Having trouble finding decent roles for the rest of their careers applies to most everyone associated with these movies.

I'm going to have to protest this list. Reign of Fire was pretty damn decent and does NOT count as an embarrassment. Furthermore Michelle Yeoh should NOT be on this list. Tomb of the Dragon Emperor may have been a shitty role for her but she's still got a solid career.

MaryEllenMoffat

Agreed. This article is a bit ridiculous. I doubt there has ever been an actor who did not have an embarrassing role.

Fabius_Maximus

Agree on Yeoh. She's excellent in every role she takes.

Reign of Fire, OTOH. The best part of that movie was the re-telling of The Empire Strikes Back. The rest sucked.

Maguita NYC

This.

What is embarrassing though is Octopussy.I always think it a misleading conversation about Octomom's hooha.

To be fair, Jane Seymour and Halle Berry have had pretty solid careers, even if they have made a few stinkers. Britt Eklund and Ursula Andress and Maud Adams haven't exactly been unknowns, either. The others, however, just aren't even on my radar as actresses.

Guest

Michelle Yeoh's definitely on my radar.

Maguita NYC

I was here to say exactly this!

Michelle Yeoh is very big in China, had made many successful movies. She was dating that short Napoleon looking dude from Formula 1. I freely admit to absorbing too much gossip.
